I don't know what Kidd said to Grimes after that DNP coach's decision but Grimes has been a different player since then.  All credit to Kidd there.  Hopefully this is the last game we see players sit with this crazy virus.

Just watched the first half.  It's great seeing how Grimes, PJ, Spence, and even Hardy are continuing to play their game and not completely defer to Luka.  It helps Luka a lot if they can take the pressure off him.  Maxi is done =/

This was the 3rd game in 4 nights and it showed with 23 turnovers (can’t remember the last time we had a number that high) and less than 70% from the line but still won somehow. Seems like we’re in a good spot to advance in the NBA cup as well, if you care about that.

2019 was what I heard on the broadcast…

Really good to see the last two games from Luka… different player from the start of the season

It's so weird. He'd been so bad the last year and a half.

Funny how good vibes and playing with talent changes you.

It's hilarious watching his splits before dallas, after dallas, and with dallas again.

It's not like he's going from a 34% 3 point shooter to 37-38%.

Damn dude is going from like 30% with the Nets(twice) and the Lakers to almost 40% with dallas in BOTH visists.

No PJ was a recipe for whatever happened last night.  Outrebounded, outhustled.  He's so important.  So is Maxi.  At least, the non Aug 2024 to now version of Maxi.  Missed Jones Jr something fierce tonight.  In the playoffs he was the primary on SGA and he kept him under control.  Followed him through screens and didn't let their role players put our bigs and backline in 2v1s like they did all night last night.  Yeesh.

 

I know we harp on Kidd a lot but it's well deserved.  Why oh why does he not tell Kyrie and Luka to screen for each other?  They're doubling them every time they touch the ball anyway.  Put them in screen action and force OKC to make the decision of whom to guard.  Do this especially when Gafford's out there and not Lively.  I hate how stubborn Kidd is about letting the players figure it out.  Give them some direction.

 

Naji had a great game.  OMAX is earning more minutes.  Klay, good game offensively and defensively.  OKC came out wanting this game so much more than we did.  I hope we play them in the WCF, it's going to be a fun series.

Great (and obvious) point about PJ @gsoda3. We're so deep that when we miss guys I don't even think about it sometimes unless it's Luka or Ky. But PJ is invaluable indeed.

Expand  

Yeah, silver lining or whatever but we ARE so deep it's kinda shocking to think that even though our high scorers were Klay and Naji (and not Kyrie or Luka) we were still within single digits with a few minutes left in the game.  We're so close, just need a few minor tweaks that'll take us to the top.

They're 10-7 vs teams .500 and above.

Meanwhile Memphis, who's up on them by a game, is 6-6 vs .500 and above teams.

Not suer why we have so many more games than them...but it's good we're taking care of business.
